Still no left back, but the slight defensive midfield depth issue has been addressed with the
signing of Brazilian journeyman Marcelo Saragosa. Given that Kitchen will surely miss time for
Olympic qualifiers (and the big show in London if we qualify) and isn't exactly a sure thing as he
steps into his first year in the role for which he's being groomed, depth was a concern.
The Hard Work Starts NowThe Red Bulls preseason got underway in earnest today at Montclair
State University, as an expanded group of players reported to camp, including a massive 12-13
trialists. The size of the group is hardly surprising, considering the number of reserve and fringe
players the club has shed since November.
Not a striker.
The fight is on for roster spots as half of last Reset's trialists are gone and new faces arrive
for the Florida camp. I'm still not seeing the potential for significant improvement in the weakest
areas (finisher, left back), but at least we're no longer stuck in stasis-land and the depth issues
look like being addressed.

Despite continued success in Mexico, Herculez Gomez has been a journeyman by playing for four teams
in two years. His latest move, however, looks like it will be the best fit for the striker.

Omar Gonzalez, fresh off the plane and training with Nürnberg, was given a Bundesliga welcome
by compatriot, and now teammate, Timmy Chandler in a crunching tackle — one that left the former
with an injured knee.
Though the extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed by the club, Gonzalez is seen pictured on
the pitch in pain as a club physio examines his left knee.

File him under journeyman if you will; Paul Thirlwell's career hasn't exactly hit stellar heights
anywhere. Decent spells at his hometown club Sunderland, Sheffield United and Derby were flecked by
seemingly the only consistency of his career – injury. Ask any fan of his current club Carlisle
to define Thirlwell in a single word and the wags will chorus on cue – ‘injured'.

Stoke City 2-3 Queens Park Rangers Premier League 19th November 2011
Icelandic journeyman Heidar Helguson is enjoying something of an Indian summer with QPR this
season. The 34-year-old added another two goals to his season tally in a hard-fought win against
Stoke on Saturday.

No work today I'm getting my fitness back Former Liverpool star Robbie Fowler has become quite the
journeyman. After leaving British football he spent two years in Australia with North Queensland
Fury and then Perth Glory, before this season ending up at Muang Thong United in the Thai Premier
League.
Little introduction needed for tomorrow's match, which marks the 216th Merseyside Derby. Last
season's encounter at Goodison was farcical from a Liverpool perspective, with the hosts dominating
the match and deservedly earning a 2-0 victory that sent the Reds into the bottom three. Thankfully
fortunes have changed, but what's sure to be the same is the fiery temperament that's come to be
associated with the match-up, especially in recent years.
The Tampa Bay Rays never say die. They were way behind the Boston Red Sox heading into
September. In the final game of the regular season on Wednesday night, the Rays were trailing 7-0
against the New York Yankees. But the Rays came roaring back to win and, after the Red Sox choked
again, advance to the 2011 baseball playoffs.

Having been out of managerial action since late February, Claudio Ranieri has found work yet
again — in Milan, Italy.
Last year's Serie A runner-up Inter Milan has decided to give the Italian journeyman a shot with
the Nerazzurri after the club parted ways with Gian Piero Gasperini yesterday.
The news that Jack Wilshere could be out for another 8 weeks started the usual he said she said
between Fabio Capello and the club. From a fan's perspective it really makes no difference.
The fact is Wilshere is not coming back till early November at the earliest with the caveat that
these predictions are not exact science so his return could be delayed even further.
The relationship between ex-England boss Peter Taylor and journeyman midfielder Junior Lewis has
long been a source of great hilarity on this site.
Here, for example, we reflected on Lewis joining Taylor at Bradford back in 2008 (the 8th
(videprinter: EIGHTH) time the pair have worked together.

Craig Bellamy to Liverpool? Six of the best journeyman footballers
Actually, let's say 'much travelled'

A news article on 2011-08-29 07:00:00 from: Talksport
This news item has been reproduced from today's media.
Last week it was reported by Bologna F.C. they had signed a striker and none other than youthful
journeyman Robert Acquafresca appeared at the player presentation. Arriving from Genoa on a one
year loan, terms would include an option to purchase half of his contract on a co-ownership deal by
way of a rather circumventive route.
It gets played time and time again by the fans, Manager's and Chairmen, but isn't it time we
gave up on the idea of the loyalty card. Carlos Tevez and Craig Bellamy are currently both on the
books of the same club, but both are for lack of a better word, 'shining' examples that player
loyalty has no place in football.
The 14th round of the Allsvenskan kicked off with GAIS hosting Malmö FF on Sunday the 26th of
June. Now before I get to the good stuff in this game, I wanted to first consider the position that
Rikard Norling is in right now. Malmö had a phenomenal season last year and then started this one
with a bang as well.
Our votes in this most storied of categories were split evenly and many of the usual characters
cropped up. Grant Holt, so hearteningly wonderful in this year of Canary yellow, will be looking
back on his days as a definitive journeyman and Singapore leaguer with disbelief and Scott
Sinclair's play off heroics confirmed an ability to link wideside flair with end product.
Blogger Ben (@fivecantonas on twitter) alerted me to a post he put up with a little background
on Jovan Kirovski and the world sensation he was supposed to be. I knew he played for ManU, but
wasn't aware of all the details. It is hard to fathom how a player can fall from that height to a
much maligned journeyman who was released by the Galaxy last year only to be picked up again on a
presumably less lucrative contract.
If you don't know Jay DeMerit's story, you soon will. A genuine rags-to-riches footy tale,
DeMerit went from an unknown American journeyman to captain of Watford in the English Premier
League. DeMerit's Hornets beat my hometown Leeds United in the 2006 promotion final in Cardiff,
condemning the proud Yorkshire side to another four years of lower league obscurity.
Blackpool took another big scalp on Tuesday night, boosting their own hopes of survival in to
the bargain. Harry Redknapp was in the media today talking down his sides' chances of a top four
finish, but he was trying to use reverse psychology. Unfortunately, it seems to have had the
opposite effect as Spurs were comprehensively beaten by the Seasiders.
"Mmm, you can really taste the Soolsma!"From our Dutch horshe's mouth came word today that
Toronto FC had snapped up its first new signings of 2011. During today's media scrum, manager Aron
Winter informed the press that three of the players who were on trial with the club in Turkey are
now indeed fully signed-on members of the Red-Oranje Army.
Del Boy's got loads of TFC clobber back there! Lovely Jubbly!
There are so many glaring differences between the 2011 TFC training camp and those that were
held under the old regime. The current "Oranje Revolution" management are open with information,
invite seemingly qualified trialists to camp and schedule challenging friendlies.
Or doffed, anyway.
Luca Toni v Louis van Gaal is a notch below the highly emotional,
somebody-might-need-a-lawyer-shortly battle that is Zlatan v Pep as far as ex-striker v coaches go,
but it's nonetheless juicy. Well, only if you like saggy old man onions, perhaps.
And that is the look of a man clearly pleased with what's happening in his pants.
Having fallen into the football supporter's trap of self obsessed navel gazing it's time to redress
the balance.
Amid the fun or pain to be had, depending on your persuasion, of watching Hibs suffer a massive,
institutional mental breakdown, we shouldn't forget the role that Ayr United played last night.
